Book description
The Summer of Lost and Found - an audiobook that feels like a warm hug
Mary Alice Monroe's latest entry in the beloved Beach House series turns into an intimate audio journey that's as soothing as it is stirring. From the very first frame, the narrator-whose voice is gentle, clear, and perfectly attuned to the Southern charm of Isle of Palms-draws listeners into Linnea Rutledge's world with a comforting familiarity.
The story unfolds over a season that should feel like renewal but turns into a roller-coaster of layoffs, health worries, and love triangles. Monroe weaves these challenges together with her trademark tenderness: the way she describes Linnea's quiet moments at the aquarium, the texture of paper airplane notes fluttering through a humid summer air, and the gentle ache that comes when old flames reappear. It's a narrative that doesn't shy away from COVID-19 realities but frames them as part of a larger tapestry of human resilience.
What makes this audiobook shine is its subtle humor amid hardship. The banter between Linnea and her new love, Gordon-who's struggling to return from England-offers light relief, while the quiet drama of John's quarantine next door keeps you on edge. Every character feels real; their voices are distinct, making it easy to follow shifting relationships without getting lost.
Monroe's prose is lyrical yet accessible. She doesn't over-explain; instead, she lets scenes breathe, letting listeners imagine the scent of sea turtles and the rustle of palm leaves. The pacing is perfect for an audiobook: enough momentum to keep you turning pages (or pressing play) but also plenty of reflective pauses that let you absorb Linnea's internal growth.
The core of the book-Linnea grappling with who she truly wants to be-is delivered with a quiet honesty that resonates deeply. As she learns that summer is more about wonder than opportunity, listeners feel an invitation to reflect on their own seasons of change.
In short, The Summer of Lost and Found is a comforting companion for any beach-side or office break. It's the kind of audiobook you can drift into with coffee in hand, knowing you'll emerge feeling lighter, more hopeful, and ready to ask yourself the same vital question: "Who do I really want to be?"
